[applause] this is the thing about me practicing medicine. the positive thing about me practicing medicine is that it to reconnect me with real people, not politicians and lobbyists. [applause] and i get to see real problems of real people that i get in my mind. so when i am in washington, it is not an esoteric. it is about real people. one of the things that our founders thought and believed and wrote was that we ought to have a citizen legislators, not a career professional legislators.

medicare pays for home health services after a hospital discharge. that sense of being a lot of the it services in the community. often it is the person and his or her family that pays primarily for services. this pays typically last, at $250 per month. if people save money when they are hiring workers themselves by hiring an independent provider which not only saves them money, but gives them more consumer control in contrast to government agencies, nearly always use an agency providers. oops. how much does it cost. in terms of medians, there is a factor of five, the difference between the two. about $5,000 per month for non- institutional care services. the indians cannot tell the whole story. on this -- medians do not tell the whole story. this shows that base and long- term health services are almost always less expensive than nursing-home services. nursing-home services hardly ever cost less than $3,500 per month. 87% of non-institutional long- term care services cost less than $3,500 a month. these are two very different populations. they are v

of medicare. whereas medicaid is for a group where there are probably fewer voters. that is one consequence why medicaid payments have lagged far behind even medicare. >> germans are always so critical of the system. they have a terrific system. the last 20 years they have been engaged in constant reform. i think that they have made their system better. the mix that you have now with about 10% with private interests are the most wealthy people. that is a nice match. in the u.s. we have maybe 20% on medicaid, although it pays for 40% of the births -- there's not enough public support to sustain that at a good quality. that mixture would work for me. >> i was surprised by this question that a lot of americans believe that the doctors can do everything. have you ever checked this fact against the sample of doctors? >> and that is next. >> thank you.
